A survey on applications of quantified Boolean formulas

A Shukla, A Biere, L Pulina… - 2019 IEEE 31st …, 2019 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The decision problem of quantified Boolean formulas (QBFs) is the archetypical problem for
the complexity class PSPACE. Beside such theoretical aspects QBF also provides an …

Solution to PSPACE‐Complete Problem Using P Systems with Active Membranes with Time‐Freeness

B Song, Y Kong - Mathematical Problems in Engineering, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
P systems with active membranes are powerful parallel natural computing models, which
were inspired by cell structure and behavior. Inspired by the parallel processing of biological …

[HTML][HTML] A QBF-based formalization of abstract argumentation semantics

O Arieli, MWA Caminada - Journal of Applied Logic, 2013 - Elsevier
We introduce a unified logical theory, based on signed theories and Quantified Boolean
Formulas (QBFs) that can serve as the basis for representing and computing various …

Strong (D) QBF dependency schemes via implication-free resolution paths

O Beyersdorff, JL Blinkhorn, T Peitl - ACM Transactions on Computation …, 2024 - dl.acm.org
We suggest a general framework to study dependency schemes for dependency quantified
Boolean formulas (DQBF). As our main contribution, we exhibit a new infinite collection of …

Building strategies into QBF proofs

O Beyersdorff, J Blinkhorn, M Mahajan - Journal of Automated Reasoning, 2021 - Springer
Strategy extraction is of great importance for quantified Boolean formulas (QBF), both in
solving and proof complexity. So far in the QBF literature, strategy extraction has been …

Hardness characterisations and size-width lower bounds for QBF resolution

O Beyersdorff, J Blinkhorn, M Mahajan… - ACM Transactions on …, 2023 - dl.acm.org
We provide a tight characterisation of proof size in resolution for quantified Boolean formulas
(QBF) via circuit complexity. Such a characterisation was previously obtained for a hierarchy …

Planning as quantified boolean formula

M Cashmore, M Fox, E Giunchiglia - ECAI 2012, 2012 - ebooks.iospress.nl
This paper introduces two techniques for translating bounded propositional reachability
problems into Quantified Boolean Formulae (QBF). Both exploit the binary-tree structure of …

Incremental SAT-Based accurate auto-correction of sequential circuits through automatic test pattern generation

B Alizadeh, SR Sharafinejad - IEEE Transactions on Computer …, 2018 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
As the complexity of digital designs continuously increases, existing methods to ensure their
correctness are facing more serious challenges. Although many studies have been provided …

Incremental QBF solving

F Lonsing, U Egly - International Conference on Principles and Practice of …, 2014 - Springer
We consider the problem of incrementally solving a sequence of quantified Boolean
formulae (QBF). Incremental solving aims at using information learned from one formula in …

Lower bound techniques for QBF expansion

O Beyersdorff, J Blinkhorn - Theory of Computing Systems, 2020 - Springer
We propose some general techniques for proving lower bounds in expansion-based QBF
proof systems. We present them in a framework centred on natural properties of winning …
